Q: apis.google question?

How do websites that use the apis.google cloud function in China? It seems they are either slower or don't load at all. What is your experience?

I don't know how they function exactly, but I always have my VPN connected all the time so I never have a problem with them loading, or speed. For example, any WordPress sites that I write for or visit that has deployed their config file on the google cloud platform with App Engine as their environment, loads just fine. But I wouldn't be surprised that if I didn't use my VPN, I would probably have connectivity problems.

Yes, any website using Google APIs or even just some fonts, will be slowed down (Great Fire Wall) or will trigger a redirection or an error (ISP being zealous). Any link that point to a Google IP address will do that.

I changed GOOG-le to Yahoo-gle, while in China. GOOG got slower as Chinese cut down the servers, after last year's 'Sep. HK landing'.

However, I can't have enough of EU GOOG:

A:I had a similar experience in HK.
